Day 10, Wednesday July 7th

Our motor coach carried us across the Painted Desert to Arizona's Grand Canyon. We spent the afternoon walking along the rim of the canyon marveling at its size and grandure. We would have liked to have taken a trip to the bottom of the canyon, but that is one of the disadvantages of a bus tour - you don't get to stay very long at each location. As rain clouds began to accumulate, we watched the sun go down over the Grand Canyon. Our room for the night was within walking distance of the edge of the Grand Canyon.
